Dishonest

Intro (Sung)

Yeah…
I should’ve listened sooner.

Verse 1 (Dry Vocals)

You looked me in my eyes, told me I was your peace,
But your phone kept sayin’ shit you never said to me.
You said your head was heavy, said you needed time,
But you were everywhere, just never really mine.
I was showin’ up, you was stayin’ out,
Every time I asked, you’d flip it back around.
I gave you patience, I gave you trust,
You gave me reasons not to give so much.

Pre-Chorus (Light Reverb)

You liked how I stayed when it worked for you,
Didn’t like the questions when I started seein’ through.
You made me feel crazy for readin’ the signs,
But deep down I knew you weren’t bein’ honest.

Chorus (Wide Vocals, Emotional)

You were dishonest in the way you moved,
Said you wanted love but you never chose.
You kept me close while you kept your options,
Sayin’ all the right shit, movin’ dishonest.
I gave you my heart, you gave me excuses,
Swore you were real but your actions proved it.
I wasn’t too much, I was just involved,
You weren’t misunderstood — you were dishonest.

Verse 2 (Dry Vocals)

You liked the comfort, not the weight of it,
Loved the attention, not the commitment.
You said I was different, said I was safe,
But treated my feelings like they could wait.
I stayed quiet when shit felt off,
Told myself love ain’t supposed to be soft.
Every time I asked where we stood,
You changed the subject like you always could.

Pre-Chorus 2 (Light Reverb)

You wanted loyalty, no explanations,
Wanted reassurance with no clarification.
You kept me guessin’, never all in,
That ain’t confusion — that’s dishonesty.

Chorus (Wide Vocals, Emotional)

You were dishonest in the way you moved,
Said you wanted love but you never chose.
You let me fall while you stayed cautious,
Actin’ committed but movin’ dishonest.
I wasn’t insecure, I was aware,
You just didn’t like that I cared.

Bridge (Strip Back, Soft Vocals)

I don’t hate you, I just woke up,
Stopped explainin’ shit you already knew.
I ignored my gut just to keep you close,
But peace feels better than false hope.
I loved you honest, that was my mistake,
I thought your heart worked the same way.

Final Chorus (Widest Vocals, Max Emotion)

You were dishonest, that’s what it was,
Not “bad timing,” not scared of love.
You knew what you were doin’, knew how it felt,
You just chose yourself over someone else.
I didn’t lose you, I lost the lie,
And that’s the reason I’m finally alright.

Outro (sung)

Yeah…
Some people don’t lie with words.
They lie with how they move.
